Vehicle Description
In 1967 Chevrolet introduced a stylish new coupe that, along with
the Corvette, would come to define the brand's successful foray
into motorsports and performance. And, as we've all come to know,
the Camaro, backing timeless 2-door style with an array V8
powerplants, was a legend in the making! At RK Motors Charlotte we
take pride in specializing in exclusive, world class classics. And
that's why we're proud to feature this fully documented,
MacNeish-certified L78 Camaro. Wrapping an original big block
drivetrain in correct green and black aesthetics, this retro wonder
is a glorious trip back to the days of Win On Sunday, Sell On
Monday!
UNFATHOMABLY FASHIONABLE
A special-order L78 Super Sport that began its life as the pride
and joy of a US Army Lieutenant Colonel, this epic pony car is the
beneficiary of a nut-and-bolt rotisserie restoration that's clean,
mean and ready to drop jaws. During that precise reboot, solid
sheetmetal was massaged into great alignment, layered in correct
Fathom Green two-stage and streaked with traditional Hockey
Stripes. And today, one close look at our high-resolution photos
reveals a handsome payoff in the form of one exceptional Chevrolet
muscle car!
In a world of lightning quick showroom specials and lights out
resto-mods, traditionalism has become a tough line to hold. But
anyone who casts even a passing glance at this monochromatic
monster would have a hard time arguing that this isn't EXACTLY the
way an old school Motor City brute should look! At the front of the
car, a menacing grille hangs a timeless "SS" badge between clear
headlights, clear parking lamps and a polished bumper that's
optioned with correct guards. Above that grille, a Camaro-branded
header leads a correct Cowl Induction Hood. At the sides of that
hood, a sculpted profile cants optional quarter louvers behind
polished door handles, pointed rocker guards and ornate Camaro
badging. At the tops of those doors, polished mirrors reflect a
crisp greenhouse, which stacks body-matched drip rails on muted
wipers and straight stainless. And at the back of the car, textured
taillights join polished exhaust tips and a Camaro-branded decklid
to frame a fourth "SS" emblem and a second polished bumper that's
optioned with correct guards.
EXCLUSIVE POWER
If you know bowtie history, you know that only 4,889 of all 206,837
1969 Camaros were gifted with Chevrolet's lethal L78 396. These
cars were the true performers of the Camaro world, often screaming
up dragstrips and beating their way through daily stoplight
squabbles. That said, living a fast life often foreshadows a fast
demise... unless you're talking about this fully documented beast!
Pop the sculpted hood and you'll find numbers-matching, big block
power that's been certified as original to the car by Camaro expert
Jerry MacNeish. Oxygen and fuel enter the big mill's combustion
chambers through a painted air cleaner, stainless fluid lines and a
correct LIST 4346 Holley. Below that carb, a sea of brilliant Chevy
Orange paint covers the block from its correct Winters intake all
the way to its stamped steel oil pan. At the back of that intake, a
reliable points distributor shoots spark through eight Packard TV R
Suppression cables. Below those wires, correct iron heads center
polished valve covers on restored exhaust manifolds. In front of
those tubes, tight belts spin a rebuilt alternator between correct
power steering and a factory smog pump. At the front of that pump,
a Delco-topped battery complements a factory radiator that's
cinched to pliable GM hoses via tight tower clamps. Those
components are, in traditional fashion, seated in a slick, Satin
Black frame. And that pigment is dotted with world class detailing,
like a correct brake booster and correct emissions equipment.
AS IT WERE
Under this impressive F-Body you'll find a fully sorted chassis
that, like the car's glossy exterior and lust worthy engine, has
been restored to very high standards. The aforementioned big block
spins a tough Muncie M22 'Rock Crusher' 4-speed that, according to
Camaro expert Jerry MacNeish, is original to the car. That
top-option gearbox twists a requisite 12-bolt axle that, also
verified original by Jerry MacNeish, is finished with a correct
posi-traction differential and correct 3.73 gears. That stellar
drivetrain pushes a correct F41 Sport Suspension, which compliments
correct power steering with correct power front disc and rear drum
brakes. Aluminized exhaust crawls through a correct transverse
muffler. And power meets the pavement through correct Fathom Green
steelies, which twist F70-14 Goodyear Polyglas Custom Wide Treads
around classy 'dog dish' hubcaps.
DELUXE DIGS
The Deluxe Black Interior hiding behind this Camaro's Fathom Green
doors is a correct factory affair that, over 50 years after its
debut, is still both stylish and cool! Tall bucket seats ride
fade-free carpet that's fashioned around a polished Hurst shifter.
In front of that stick, a wood-trimmed dash hangs stainless-trimmed
foot pedals below rebuilt factory telemetry and a Delco AM radio.
That seat, dash and console trifecta is cased in a tight headliner
and original Deluxe side panels. The driver spins a factory Super
Sport steering wheel. And behind the passengers, an optional
fold-down rear seat provides access to the car's trunk.
So, there you have it: a rare, fully-documented piece of Chevrolet
history that's been authenticated by the best in the business.
